KinAnatomy - 3rd edition - Paperback

by Georgios Stylianides (Translator), Allard Paul (Author)

Why study the anatomy of the musculoskeletal system? Improperly executed stretching, strength training, or training exercises can lead to injuries. The same is true for poor posture when performing tasks both at work and at home. A practical knowledge of functional anatomy is necessary to assess and correct proper movement and improve physical performance. This process starts with the anatomy of bones, ligaments, and muscles, but goes beyond that. This KinAnatomy textbook is different than the rest of the textbooks, both in its format and its content. Its format is intended to be more entertaining than restricting or plain. It features a variety of photos and illustrations depicting not only the components of the musculoskeletal system, but also their contributions to physical activities performed in daily life. This textbook is primarily intended for kinesiologists, fitness experts, sport scientists and health professionals. The student is gradually introduced to the components and functions of joints through numerous examples from the academic environment, the sports field, the workplace and everyday life. KinAnatomy genuinely stands out from the traditional descriptive anatomy textbooks as it addresses a variety of functional aspects.
